Happy Friday and almost 4th of July, Fanatics. I'm not really feeling myself for obvious reasons this week. and I gained 2 lbs. My gynie appt went well. I love my dr. She's soooo understanding. She's really helped me come up with a game plan to help my anxiety, depression and crappy mood since MIL moved in. I just can't seem to focus on myself right now. HOW COME this happens?? I'm soo good at taking care of everyone else, but I let myself down every time. She's made me realize how well I feel when I exercise and eat right. Applying those ideas gets muddled in the other crap. I'll be meeting with her again if I feel I need to. Right now I'm trying it on my own with just being able to vent to friends, family etc. that seems to help a lot.

Vent all you want if it helps, we are here for you

Ok guys..how ya doing?
I'm pretty much a whipped puppy right now. Been cleaning my house for like 6 hours straight and running errands too.
Hey I got a question for you guys, anyone.
You know, i've heard that runners get pain in their legs along the bone. I noticed it the other day but blew it off. Geeze, I'm feeling it today though. Yes, i'm whining lol. Any tips to make it go away? I'm gonna soak it tonight but lordy I hate standing up on my feet today! Any tips would help, thanks guys!

Debra - Sounds like you have shin splints. You want to ice them...never heat. My cousin is a runner and she has them. Icing them is really the only way to ease the pain. I don't think they ever really go away.

Hubby has been at work since 7:30am yesterday morning. Construction cut out a big hunk of phone cable late yesterday so he and another guy spent all night splicing the cable back together. Then he gets a call around lunch that another phone cable got cut so he just finished that job a few minutes ago. He's going to be a lot of fun when he gets home. I've already sensed some attitude on the phone. I know he's worn out to say the least. I just hope we don't get into it. I'm not in the mood.

I guess I need to get off here and start dinner. I've been putting it off. I really don't feel like cooking. I'm hot and do not want to turn on the stove and my grill isn't working at the moment. I'm such a whiny butt today...lol. Forgive me gals.

Ok, this is too cool. I was able to log on using my laptop here at the hospital using their wi fi service they provide for patients and their families. THANK GOD!! Daytime tv sucks and I've been going out of my mind with boredom. I'll be back later or tommorrow. The nurse just gave me something for pain and I'm high as a kite lol.

lmao Cathy....glad you got access at the hospital..thats cool! Sounds like your doing ok. Shoot, high as a kite and its legal too lmao.

Awww Man Sandi, I was afraid someone would tell me that. I thought that was just for runners...all I do is walk! Bummer, shrugs. Will put some ice on it though so thanks!
Sorry hubby is working so hard. Run him a nice bath to help him relax if you think he would like it. As far as supper, thank goodness for electric skiller or crockpot...I hate cooking in this heat--so HOT. Lately, though i've been getting hubby takeout (I have a different supper-no cooking lol).
Went to the carnival, with the token we had last night and what I got tonight...got a big old scooby and a red teddy bear with a heart. I was told Scooby was with that guy from Tx to MN and back to Texas lol.
I'm whipped guys...cleaned and cleaned some more. Its been a long freaking day. The only thing I had that I shouldnt was some french fries. Calorie wise I dont think it was a big deal though. So, still feel day was good for weight loss. No walking except at carnival..I took the day off.
I hope everyone has a great 4th of july!! It looks like both my kids will be here too. We got the games set up (darts and horseshoes). My yard has never looked so good thanks to the guys! They worked like dogs for 2 days. I didnt raise the question of beer but hubby did...so we will also have ice cold beer and frankly, that sounds like heaven right now! lmao. If I have any, it will be just 2. Ok guys, stay safe and happy...have an awesome weekend!

Hi! I'm new and I was wondering if I could join your group!

Hey Fanatics,

Have just sent my weight to Kim and asked to be taken off cheerleading duties and put back on the team. I think I need to concentrate on being physically healthy, even though being emotionally healthy is difficult.

lots of love to you all.

Good mornin everyone and Happy 4th of July! I lost 3lbs. I am so excited about that because I have yet to lose that much! I am so excited to see how I do next week! Talk later!

Happy 4th! I finally lost one pound. After holding and even gaining, I am soooo excited over one pound. I am still trying to do Trish's challenges but they are kicking my booty.
